• Title: Mind The Facts: Knowledge-Boosted Coherent Abstractive Text Summarization
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel architecture that extends Transformer encoder-decoder architecture. We incorporate entity-level knowledge from the Wikidata knowledge graph into the encoder-decoder architecture. This helps our model with producing coherent summaries even when the source article is long.

• Abstract: Neural models have become successful at producing abstractive summaries that are human-readable and fluent. However, these models have two critical shortcomings: they often don't respect the facts that are either included in the source article or are known to humans as commonsense knowledge, and they don't produce coherent summaries when the source article is long. In this work, we propose a novel architecture that extends Transformer encoder-decoder architecture in order to improve on these shortcomings. First, we incorporate entity-level knowledge from the Wikidata knowledge graph into the encoder-decoder architecture. Injecting structural world knowledge from Wikidata helps our abstractive summarization model to be more fact-aware. Second, we utilize the ideas used in Transformer-XL language model in our proposed encoder-decoder architecture. This helps our model with producing coherent summaries even when the source article is long. We test our model on CNN/Daily Mail summarization dataset and show improvements on ROUGE scores over the baseline Transformer model. We also include model predictions for which our model accurately conveys the facts, while the baseline Transformer model doesn't.

  We propose lightweight pretrained linguistic self-attention heads to inject knowledge into transformer models without pretraining them again. Our approach is a balanced paradigm between leaving the models to learn unsupervised and forcing them to conform to linguistic knowledge rigidly. We empirically verify our framework on benchmark datasets to show the contribution of linguistic knowledge to a transformer model.

  We adapt TP-TRANSFORMER with the explicitly compositional Product Representation (TPR) for the task of abstractive summarization. Key feature of our model is a structural bias that we introduce by encoding two separate representations for each token. We show that our TP-TRANSFORMER outperforms the Transformer and the original TP-TRANSFORMER significantly on several abstractive summarization datasets.

Results show that our models produce significantly higher ROUGE scores than a variant without knowledge graph as input on both New York Times and CNN/Daily Mail datasets.
